ABBEYILLE, S. c., April, l, 1887.
Editor Christian Neighbor:
I would congratulate you on the
anniversary of your very excellent
newspaper, the CHRISTIAN NEIGIIBoR,
and would at the same time express
the wish that your useful life may be
spared to celebrate many returns OF
the day. -,
The CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOR should
be read by every family in South Car,
olina. II is newspaper which will
benefit every family in which it is
read.
1t is pre-eminently peace paper
opposed to war between nations-op-
posed to strife between individuals, it
sets us good example in, that it has
never assailed the character of any
one, or impugned the motives or
doubted the sincerity and honesty OF
those who may have differed in opin-
ion from the editor.
The CHRISTIAN NEIGHBoR has
been in fact fair with its contempora-
ries, peaceable with its ministerial
brethren, and full of love for all man.
kind. In tone it has been elevating,
purifying, and ennobling. Its great
work has been to teach the highest du-
ties of life, and to inspire III us the
hope that we may at last reach the
promised haven Of rest beyond the
River.
Again congratulating you on the
good work which you and the CHRIS
TIAN NEIGHBoR are doing, and wish
ing for the paper and its excellent edi.
tor a long life with constantly increas:
| ing usefulness, I am sincerely and
truly, your friend and well-wisher.

How the Leaven of Lying Works.
BY Rev. Josiah w. Leeds, of PhiIa
delphia, Pa.

BY Rev. Josiah w. Leeds, of Ph1la-
delphia, Pa.
From the President of the White
Cross Society, New York City, I re-
ceived few weeks ago, circular in
reference to the lying, profanity, and
some other abounding evils of the
time, with the request for practical
suggestions as to how to bring about
their abatement.
Immediately after replying to this
circular, the matter of the Dependent
Pensions Bill was brought into speci-
ally prominent notice through its veto
by the President. Itoccurred to me that
that one act, had it unfortunately be-
come law, would have operated as
the occasion for more false swearing
and dissimulation generally, on the
part of many prospective beneficiaries
under the bill, than could have been
successfully combated by all the White
Cross Societies in the country during a
whole generation.
Another item of information, sug-
gestive in the same direction, came TO
me this week in the shape of an article
in the american, of Washington, cop
led in part from the Chicago Daily
NeaDs, showing how it happens that
| ChicagO's miJliOnaires and rich law
yers, her bankers, brokers, merchants,
oil men, ministers, judges, doctors, and
board of trade gamblers, manage by
defective schedules and false Oaths to
avoid their Just share of taxation. The
writer shows, that highly expensive
articles of household furniture such as
thousand dollar pianos, will be assess
cd by the owner at the beggarly valua-
tion of, say $50, and horses and car
riages, elegant carpets, cabinets and
silver service. worth other thousands
of dollars, will be set down and sworn
to at less than so many hundreds. AS
result of this lying spirit leavening
the community, he further states that
whereas the city of Boston, in the year
just past, with its population of 4OO,-
600, paid tax on personal property as
sessed at $l93, 1000. Chicago, OH the
other hand, with upward Of 100000
population, paid tax on an assessed per-
sonalty of less than 80 million dollars
Please fasten this in the mind before
going farther.
| Now, the Anarchists, under sentence
of death in that city for crimes deem
ed capital, were undoubtedly guilty OF
the committal of most atrocious deeds
Yet when we consider that the great
money kings of the metropolis of the
west, and very large number of the
lesser well-todo people of the place
have, by evasion and simple lying, re,
lieved themselves from the payment
of hundreds of thousands Of dollars Of
annual taxes lawfully chargeable upon
their luxuries, there is not such very
great reason for wonderment that des
perate men with no hope of heaven il
their souls, should have attempted the
ruin of society against whom they
claimed to have long and very black
bill of grievances. And so we clearly
perceive that the spirit of lying is ONT
| which leads right on to war and death
, And lying itself is begotten of lust

Man Passes Away, but Gods Church
Continues Forever.

IF the world does rot exist for pur-
poses of the church, then it exists by
accident and at random. If the histo..
nv of the world be not the history OF
the kingdom of Christ, the Redeemer,
then it is but the history of confusion,
and chaos and utter nothingness.
Bring to mind some of the prominent
facts in this matter.
First, you have Gods own promise
to his church ages Oh ages ago. The
nation and kingdom that aOiU not serve
thee shall perish, yea, these nations
shall be utterly aUaSted. Trace the
march of that church in the light of
that promise, or rather prediction, as
she comes in contact with the success
i've mighty empires of the East and
West-the Egyptian, the Assyrian, the
Babylonian, the Medo-Persian, the
AleXandrian, the Roman. The office
of each, in relation to her, was clearly
indicated, and their conduct and con-
seouent fate, all are made known in
these predictions, and illustrated in
parallel lines in their history. Egypt
was the nursery and school to the in
fant church, whereby the discipline ot
centuries a handful of nomadic shep'
herds were to be transformed into 8

tions, possessed of all those multiforn

Composure is often the highest re
serve of power.
Sin is suffering in the root; suffer-

Most men consider more the person
that speaks than the thing he says.
No fountain is so small but that
heaven may be imaged in its bosom.
Sometimes it is exceedingly hard to
tell where frankness ends and impu-

How calmly may we commit our
selves to the hands of Him who bears

s'Days''-Why Not Neighbor Day.
BY DR.. James M. Burgess, Of Gree
IvvilIQ q q

BY DR.. James NJ. Burgess, of Gree
Iyville, 8. q.
The celebration of the anniversaries
of the Christian Neigh5or is in accord
ance with the long established, and in
creasing popular custom of such obser.
vance of remarkable events; and
"Neighbor Day" is surely entitled to a
place on the long list of "days" to be
observed. To make the correctness OF
this proposition more clearly apparent,
several things may properly he consid-
cred.
South Carolinians of the generation
now passing away, grew up with the
idea that the States were sovereign,
and the right of Secession inherent.
Modification, union, slavery, abolition
ism, emancipation, freesoilism, repub.
licanism, and secession had been
drummed in their ears until they were
sick of it, and the only hope of getting
rid of the horrible din-the only hope
of peace-was in getting away from it.
Secession was the right road, and the
only road so thought many, and so
they acted. Then followed aOar, and
Lees surrender and as much more as
the Imagination of one who did not
witness it may be able to gather up.
In the mean time christian men who
had thought and voted and marched
and fought believed they had been do
ing their duty all the while, and when
it was learned that a Methodist preach
er wanted to get the name of every
man in the State who was opposed to
war" the mental conclusion of at least
one, was that "a born fool had gone
crazy.n But the Neighbor was estab-
lished; the standard Of "peace as op-
posed to war" was raised, men began
to think, to inquire, and many were
led to see that killing their fellowmen
was incompatible with love for the
Prince of peace who had died for their
salvation and who had commanded
them, while he was alive and on earth,
TO love each other "as he had loved
them.n [See John 1884 with margl-
nal explanation. And not simply
''as they loved themselves" as under
the Mosaic law.
Until all men observe the "new com
mandment" it cannot be expected that
all men will endorse the principles OF
the Christian Neigh6or" or consider
it's establishment "remarkab!e
event." nevertheless it behooves all
Christians to pray for it's success and
that God may give peace to all ana good
will to men.

Teaching the Great Lesson of Life
Purity of Principle-FreedOm of
Expression.
Ry Rev. W. Smith Martin, OF the
South Carolina Conference.

Having again reached your anniver'
sary, as a we'll wisher in your growth
and prosperity, and in the divine prin-
ciples YOU so ably, and faithfully vim
dicate. permit me to congratulate you
on your age, and future outlook. You
have contemporaries W no can boast Of
greater size, of more advertising mat,
ter, of a more flaming "Caption," and
of greater variety of news, &C., but for
purity, nobility of principle, and free
dom of expression, am free to say,
vou cannot he excelled by any. You
have as grand motto as ever decked
the pages of journalism, and as a de.
fender of that sentiment, you have
been consistent, courageous, and 1rm,
and only eternity will unfold the ex-
tent of YOUR efforts in elevating ma
tional opinion, and promoting the es.
sential traits of the Gopsel. :.
You have no doubt done much IN
establishing the opinion that war ana
bloodshcd is brutal, and unciVilized,
and in advancing peace and love over
this great Commonwealth. What a
Grand mission you have before you!
You certainly should have encour-
couragement both in the form of sub
scription and concurrence.
"Peace on earth and good will to,
ward men, is the great essential oi

keeping with the life and teachings OF
the Master, if Christian denomlna'
tons, would cavil less over creedlsmi
and boast less of their denominations

vote more time, men, and means tc

I Question the propriety, yea the ap
proval of Christianity, in Christian pa
rents, teaching their children the his

Ready for church on the morrow you KIN ow;
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kiised;
Putting them into clean garments and white,
That is what mothers ale doing tonight.
Spying out holes in the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn thro' the toes,
Looking DER garments so faded and thin
Who but q mother knows where to begin!
Changing button to make 1t look right,
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening
prayer,
Telling them stories of Jesus of old,
Who loves to gather the sheep to his fold,
Watching, they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are doing to. might.
Creeping so softly to take last peep,
After the little ones all are asleep;
Anxious to know If the children are warm,
Tucking the blankets round each little form
kissing each little face, rosy and bright
That is what mothers arc doing tonight.

Lowly and meekly she bowed down her head

The Minutes of the South Carolina
Conference.

A fortnight since the pastor of Lees
Vile and Concord charge received s
copies of the minutes of the session of
the S. G. Conference, Dec. 1920, quite
equivalent we presume, to amount col
lected in 1856 for "Minutes' on that
charge.
The publication 119 pages, eNclu-
sive of 10 pages advertisements, is
neatly printe 4 on good paper and
bound in good style, by G. A. Calvo,
Jr. We had almost forgotten to ex-
pect the minutes, so long they were a
coming! but it is but justice to the edi-
tors and publisher to say that publ
cation like this-abounding in statisti-
cal and financial composition-is a
tedious job, requiring much care and
labor.
1t would be marvellous for such a
pamphlet to be altogether free from
errors. In that respect we are not pre-
pared to judge; only the holders of
manuscript and the proof readers can
do this. Restricting our examination
to Leesville and Concord we find one
error Up. 72) which is manifest: The
amounts S2l.46 and S29.26, paid the
Presiding Elders, "a. G. Smith and 0.
A. Darby make S44.72 instead of Ssh
~, as the in correct addition i'll the
minutes has it. Beyond this we are
not prepared to judge along through
the many pages of statistics and
figures.

Wifely Pride.

We had called, Jennie and I, on q
bright young bride, and very bright
she was, with sparkling eyes, and
laughing lips, and pretty, girlish
way with her, half timid, half defiant,
a mixture of girlishness and self-will
that always looks pretty-when you
don't see too much of it; then it be-
comes monotonous. Her husband was
not in. We inquired for him, Of
course, and she answered, with pref
ty toss of the head.
"He's at that horrid office. 1 hate
it,"
When we came away said, "What
a pretty bride Cousin Harry has,"
''But I'm sorry for him." said Jen-
ME.
"Sorry" said I, in surprise.
"Yes," said Jennie; II am sorry for
any man whose wife has no pride In
her husbands business. Sorry for any
man whose wife, by her undisguised
contempt for what ought to be her
husbands pride and ambition, does
what she can to make it drudgery for
him. If she looks at his office, or his
store, or his factory as a 'horrid' place,
useless only to make money In, what
must be the result? Either his Joy in
it will be dulled and quenched or he
will come to look on it with that pity
which is dangerously akin to con-
tempt. If, on the other hand, she has
wifely pride in his law, or his trade,
or his theology, or his practice, what
ever it may be, he will catch inspira-
ton from her high thoughts about 1t,
and his law will become to him an in.
strument of justice, and his trade 9
means of doing good to humanity, ana
his theology a spiritual experience {;
for she will illumine and elevate ev-
erything by hsr womanly aspiration"
"And what" said I, "lf it be bust.
ness woman cannot have a pride in ?"
"Then," said Jennie, "the sooner he
leaves it the better; for no man ought
to do what true wife ought to be
ashamed to have him do"
And rather think Jennie is right.
She generally is.
